1958 HUNT'S CATSUP AD MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A GREAT TAGLINE - "BAD COOKING? COVER IT UP WITH HUNT'S"
In the past 53 years, how many American families could of used the services of Hunt's catsup? I'm talking about the DESPERATELY NEEDED SERVICE of helping to get bad cooking down your throat, without telling the family cook that the food is inedible.
Tens of millions of BAD & INEDIBLE meals have been non-voluntarily swallowed, since this 1958 magazine advertisement was published. Hunt's catsup could have become a TRILLION DOLLAR corporation, if only they had thought of advertising the fantastic ability of Hunt's catsup to transform HORRIBLE cooking into passable cooking.
A few ads placed in Popular Mechanics & Sports Illustrated would of sent bottles of Hunt's catsup flying off the grocery shelf, and making Hunt's into the first TRILLION DOLLAR corporation.
Instead of Walmart, Google & Exxon/Mobil being our overlord corporate masters, we would have a kind and benevolent Hunt's catsup company holding our puppet strings.
The world would be a better place today. This is one of the many problems that I will fix when I get my Delorean Time Machine back from the auto mechanic.
POSSIBLE TAGLINES:
"WHAT DOES BAD COOKING DESPERATELY NEED? HUNT'S CATSUP IS THE ANSWER."
"HUNT'S CATSUP WILL LUBRICATE YOUR THROAT & STOMACH LINING, TO GET BAD COOKING DOWN"
"ONE DOLLOP OF CATSUP WILL TRANSFORM A BAD MEAL SITUATION INTO 'THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT & DELICIOUS MEAL, SWEETHEART'"
